This delicious red is from Alto Adige, the German-speaking Alpine region in the far north of Italy, south of Austria. It is made from 100% Lagrein grape, grown on steep, well-drained vineyard sites. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, followed by 10 months ageing in large, used oak barrels.
Lagrein is an indigenous grape variety that is used to make a wide range of different wine styles. Niklas' example is a delicious plummy savory drink with a hint of tannin on the finish and no noticeable oak, somewhat reminiscent of riper Loire Cabernet Franc.
It’s the perfect match for mountain fare: grilled meats, hearty stews, or appetizers with aged cheeses and speck.
